Domain House - the oringinal home of the University of Tasmania - is currently part of a refurbishment program by the Uni to restore the precinct. It's also currently hosting a new art exhibition titled Domain: a contested landscape in which nineteen artists interpret neo-Gothic landmark's past, present and future. You can see some of the images below.

The exhibition is part of a series of site-specific art installation projects curated by Professor Noel Frankham, Deputy Dean of Arts, and others for Ten Days on the Island. (Previous installations in the series were at Port Arthur, and at National Trust properties.) It presents prespectives on human interaction with the built and natural environments. Domain House was built in 1848-49 and was originally the privately run Hobart High School and then the Univresity of Tasmania when it opened in 1890. It was re-acquired by UTAS in 2011.
